Action! - Master and Fifth Doctor

[celerystyle]

[After the debacle in the infirmary and the sudden spree of "arrests" which he saw his other self had neatly taken care of, the Doctor nips over to see the Master, rapping neatly on his inmates door before waiting patiently.]

Comments

[He tries to ignore the rapping; however, Lucy's grown accustomed to the Doctor, to the point where she gets quite demanding when he's around. And so, the dog's yapping eventually drives him to approach the door, nudging the dog away none-too-gently with his foot. Given the dog's reaction, he already knows it's the Doctor, so he opens the door and stares at his hated enemy]

To what do I owe the pleasure, Doctor?

[celerystyle]

Master.

[The Doctor nods politely.]

I think we're overdue for a little chat about how you're doing here. Do you mind?

[He waits to be allowed in, trying to hide his subtle nonverbal communication with Lucy as he does so.]

[soundof_drums]

[The Master silently wills Lucy to attack. Alas, she doesn't.]

Oh, a nice little chat. And you didn't even bring any tea. Tsk.

[He moves aside to allow the Doctor in, not offering an invitation, but not outright shunning the Doctor. A conversation could have some beneficial results for him, after all. He could pry the location of the watch from the Doctor.]

[The Doctor enters, scratching Lucy's ears affectionately as he closes the door behind him.]

Not this time I'm afraid. I do worry that I get a little caught up in all the ritual of it and miss the actual point sometimes. Anyway...

[He moved cross the room to take a seat, glancing up at the Master as he did so.]

...How are you feeling? Recovered from your latest bid for power I take it?
